MCIA salutes Paula Mohr and Andrea Johnson upon their well-earned retirements. Both are veteran journalists who have reported extensively about agriculture in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, including many articles about the activities of MCIA and the experiences and accomplishments of MCIA’s members.

Paula Mohr retired from her position as editor of The Farmer magazine last winter. Andrea Johnson retired from her position as a reporter for the Minnesota Farm Guide/Farm and Ranch Guide this spring. In recognition of their service to agriculture and support for MCIA, MCIA honored both women with the Honorary Premier Seed Grower award; Mohr in 2020 and Johnson in 2022.
